Of course and thank you. What you implied by syncretism was a combination of beliefs. This would be serious and untrue because it would undermine faith. The milder and innocent form of adaptation or inculturation of local customs to convey and enhance the belief is not only acceptable but indeed desirable.

Desirable?  Desirable to the Indulgence/tax collecting Roman Whore of Babylon perhaps. 

 

There are plenty of Christian sects that get along just fine without poluting the waters of baptism with the local pagan sewage.

Isis, Ishtar, Easter, Gaia, Mary - syncretist worship of the mother goddess.  It is what it is, and it ain't Christian, Bishop.

 

The Bity Bunny failed....

 

 

 

Maybe you should try a large wooden badger next time?
